After tossing and turning for a long time, and trying all sorts of methods, Lu Xuan was disappointed. He simply could not do anything to the Blood Essence. Apart from letting it absorb and assimilate, there was no way to actively absorb it.
It seems that I have to prepare for a protracted battle. Lu Xuan thought as he stared blankly at the sky.
No longer caring about the matter of the Blood Essence, Lu Xuan took out an ancient book from his storage ring. This was a set of martial techniques that Zhang Dongshuang had left for him. It was also a set of sword techniques passed down by the Zhang Family's ancestors.
Martial techniques were of utmost importance to a martial artist. A good martial technique could greatly increase a martial artist's cultivation speed, and a good martial technique could greatly increase a martial artist's battle prowess.
And martial techniques had always been one of the capital for a martial artist to surpass levels in battle. A martial artist at the eighth rank of Body Refinement using a low-grade Yellow Grade martial technique might not be able to defeat a martial artist at the seventh rank of Body Refinement using a mid-grade Yellow Grade martial technique.
Since this set of sword techniques was passed down by the Zhang Family's ancestors, it would definitely not be bad. Lu Xuan was also looking forward to it.
Taking out the ancient book, on the cover of the ancient book, the name of this set of sword techniques was impressively written. It was called the Startling Cloud Sword Technique!
Lu Xuan impatiently flipped to the first page. The first page was an introduction to this set of sword techniques. He quickly found the level of this set of sword techniques. The four words "low-grade Profound Grade" immediately appeared in front of Lu Xuan's eyes.
Profound Grade martial technique!
A trace of ecstasy appeared on Lu Xuan's face. Martial techniques were divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Each level was further divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. Currently, Lu Xuan's killing move, the Blinking Sword Technique, was only a high-grade Yellow Grade martial technique. However, by relying on the high-grade Yellow Grade Blinking Sword Technique, Lu Xuan was practically invincible.
But now, this Startling Cloud Sword Art had broken through the Yellow Rank and reached the Profound Rank. This was not just a small increase in rank, but a huge leap in rank. It might seem like there was only a thin line between a Yellow Rank Upper Grade and a Profound Rank Lower Grade, but in reality, the difference in power between a Yellow Rank Martial Skill and a Profound Rank Martial Skill was huge.
Lu Xuan was so excited that his hands were trembling. If he could learn this Startling Cloud Sword Technique, wouldn't his battle prowess increase to another level?
Once his strength was restored and he learned this martial technique, he might be able to match or even kill an existence at the tenth layer of the Body Refinement Realm.
It seemed that the Liu Clan's Patriarch that attacked the Zhang Clan possessed the strength of the 10th level of the Body Refinement Realm. At that time, he might have to help Zhang Dongshuang take revenge for the annihilation of her clan. After all, although he'd repeatedly fallen into danger during the inheritance this time, his gains weren't small.
Just this Profound Rank Martial Skill alone was an extremely precious existence. Not to mention, there was also that unknown drop of blood. Once he absorbed it, it would definitely bring him great benefits.
Lu Xuan suppressed the excitement in his heart as he thought about it. He calmed himself down and continued to read the book, trying to comprehend the sword technique.
A Profound Rank Martial Skill, to an existence like the Zhang Clan's ancestor, was considered nothing. He wouldn't even bother to look at it. As for why he only gave a Profound Rank Martial Skill, it wasn't without reason.
Because of the difference in the realm of a martial artist, there was a limit to the number of martial skills that could be comprehended. If Lu Xuan was given a Heaven Rank Martial Skill, not to mention comprehending it, it would be a problem for him to even understand it. Comprehending a Profound Rank Martial Skill, to Lu Xuan, was almost the limit.
After spending half an hour, Lu Xuan carefully read through the Startling Cloud Sword Technique. This Lower Profound Rank Martial Skill had a total of three styles. The first style, Startling Wind, the second style, Startling Thunder, and the third style, Startling Cloud. Each style was stronger than the previous, and because Startling Cloud was the strongest, it was named after Startling Cloud.
And these three styles, each style had its own unique characteristics. The first style, Startling Wind, when the move was made, the sound of the wind would be heard, and the wind would blow violently, as if even the wind would be startled.
The second style, Startling Thunder, when the sword move was made, thunder would roar and lightning would flash. The attack would be even faster than a thunderbolt. It combined the violence of thunder and the speed of lightning, focusing on speed and lethality.
As for the third style, Startling Cloud, once the move was made, it would be as if the clouds in the sky would be startled. It combined the characteristics of the first style, Startling Wind, and the second style, Startling Thunder.
After carefully studying it, Lu Xuan couldn't help but praise in his heart. As expected of a Profound Rank Martial Skill, it was not something that a simple sword move like the Blink Sword Technique could compare to. But correspondingly, the difficulty of mastering it also increased. Although he had already carefully read through it, he still had no idea how to comprehend it.
It seemed that being trapped in the Hengduan Mountain Range was not a bad thing. It just so happened that he could comprehend the martial skill in peace.
Without continuing to study it, Lu Xuan first put away the ancient book. The most important thing now was not to hurry to learn the Startling Cloud Sword Technique. Because even if he immediately mastered it, he would not be able to unleash the full power of the Startling Cloud Sword Technique before he recovered his strength.
What he needed to consider now was the problem of his own safety. Although it seemed that there were no ferocious beasts or martial artists that came here, there was no guarantee that no one would come in the next few days. The martial artists and ferocious beasts that could come here were at least at the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm or at the ninth level. Besides the two Myriad Sword Talismans, he had nothing else that could deal with these martial artists and ferocious beasts.
Looking at the narrow crack in front of him, Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes as he pondered on how to conceal himself. Suddenly, he thought of a way!
Previously, in order to prevent others from discovering this place, the Zhang ancestor had set up an illusion array at the narrow crack, completely concealing this place. Now, there was no doubt that Lu Xuan could also use this method!
Although he could not use Yuan Power due to the mysterious drop of essence blood, he could still use Soul Power and could still use the Dao of Talismans!
During his time in the Enchantment Hall, Lu Xuan had read many ancient books on the Dao of Talismans. The Dao of Talismans had two branches, one was the Soul Talisman Master, the other was the Spiritual Array Master. In fact, because the origin of Soul Talismans and Spiritual Arrays were all runes, there was no distinction between the two branches. Some of the stronger Soul Talisman Masters also had high attainments in the field of Spiritual Arrays.
The hidden transmission array in the Enchantment Hall was set up by Hall Master Chen Mo, together with Elder Fang and Elder Qin.
During his time in the Enchantment Hall, Lu Xuan had also dabbled in some of the basic Spiritual Arrays, and the illusion array was naturally one of the basic Spiritual Arrays.
Some of the stronger illusion arrays did not even require the addition of a killing array. Just the illusion array alone was enough to trap someone to death, and it could even cause them to silently die in their own illusions.
Of course, there was no way Lu Xuan would know anything about such a powerful illusory formation. However, he had no use for it at the moment. All he needed to do was to set up a camouflage illusion to hide the narrow passage, which was not difficult at all.
After thinking this through, Lu Xuan immediately stopped caring about the Lower Mysterious Rank Cloud Startling Sword Technique and began to recall the ancient books on formations that he had read. The formation runes of the basic illusion array began to appear in his mind.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Xuan began to practice. In the Enchantment Hall, he had spent most of his time on Soul Talismans and had not practiced Spiritual Arrays. Therefore, he had to start from the beginning again. Fortunately, the two were extremely similar, and it was not difficult to learn.
Stretching out his right hand, Lu Xuan released his Soul Power. The Yuan Power of Heaven and Earth was immediately mobilized by Lu Xuan, and the formation runes began to flash...
After practicing again and again, Lu Xuan did not know how many times he had failed. Every time his Soul Power was greatly exhausted, he would circulate the Taiyi Return to Origin Skill to absorb the energy of the mysterious blood essence in his blood while recovering his Soul Power.
After spending a whole three days, Lu Xuan finally mastered the most basic illusion array. Without any hesitation, he directly walked to the front of the mountain rock, extended his right hand, and emitted his Soul Power. Using the Yuan Power, runes began to appear one after another, and soon, an illusion array was formed!
Although it was only the most basic camouflage illusion array, with its concealment, no one would be able to see the narrow crack from the outside. It was one with the mountain rock, and no one would be able to guess that there were other traps in it.
With the appearance of the illusion array, Lu Xuan finally heaved a sigh of relief. The first time he came into contact with an array, it was not as simple as he had imagined. He originally thought that he could finish it in a day, but he did not expect to spend a whole three days to master it.
However, what Lu Xuan did not know was that his speed was already extremely shocking. It should be known that it was his first time coming into contact with an array. To be able to successfully draw an illusion array within three days, he was stronger than most of the Spiritual Array Masters. Even Chen Xiaohan, who was extremely talented in Talisman Dao, could at most achieve this level.
Apart from successfully engraving the illusory formation, his continuous practice over the past three days had also further strengthened his soul power. Unless he could get his hands on a legendary method to train his soul power, the only way to improve his soul power would be through constant practice.
Above the Body Refinement Realm was the Spirit Refinement Realm. The Spirit Refinement Realm not only required the cultivation of the Yuan Spirit, but also required the cultivation of the Spirit Refinement Realm, which was also the Soul Power. The enhancement of the Soul Power was extremely important to the advancement of the realm.
The three days of practice not only improved Lu Xuan's Soul Power, but also increased his interest in Talisman Dao. There were three thousand Great Daos, and each Dao was broad and profound. One could only know it by experiencing it personally.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan decided to continue practicing the Spiritual Array. Although he had an illusion array, he would definitely make a sound inside it. Once he made a sound, it was very likely that he would be noticed by others. To be on the safe side, another Soundproof Array would be more secure.
Immediately, Lu Xuan entered the cave and began the next step of practice.
With the experience from the first time, this time Lu Xuan practiced the Soundproof Array. It only took him less than two days, and his progress was extremely obvious.
Another Soundproof Array was set behind the illusion array. This time, unless someone broke the Soundproof Array, otherwise the sound made by Lu Xuan in the cave would no longer be able to be transmitted out.
